When Jonathan couldn't find his wife in the six months that it took for him to get control of what he was and go to England, he'd done the next best thing.

He went to look for her brother.

Rumplestiltskin was far more predictable than Mina was. He still had his haunts and Jonathan set out to find one of those.

He found him in a tavern two weeks later. He wasn't sure what he should do. Should he go to show himself and give the man a heart attack? Should he follow him to see Mina? To make sure she was afe? he couldn't hear it if he got all the way here to find out she'd not made it.

It took him several hours standing outside the tavern before he finally gathered his courage and went to sit down.

"Rumple...." he was shaking, he was so nervous.

Jonathan pulled him close, in a crushing embrace, he was sobbing again, it wasn't the first time tonight but it felt like new waves of emotions suffocating him with every moment.

"I'm a demon now...I'm a monster..."

Rumple rubbed his back, "You're Jonathan. You've always been Jonathan. He didn't take that from you."

He was just...a little different. Some dietary restrictions, some allergies. But still his brother.

"No," he sobbed, "I'm not him anymore, I would never hurt anyone, I would never do these things. I don't want to kill, I don't want to be like...I don't want to be like him."

how long until he would be? How long until he gave up on his morals? How long until his love for his family wasn't enough?

"You're not like him," Rumple insisted vehemently, "If you were like him you wouldn't be so concerned with Mina's feelings and safety."

The bloodlust though... Maybe it would get better with time? Maybe they could figure out an alternative?

Jonathan was shaking as it really sank in for him, "But years and years and decades and eternity when mum's dead and you're both dead and I don't have anyone anymore? What if Draula was good once. and that's my fate"

"He wasn't," Mina snapped, "And you won't, you'll never be him."

Rumple wasn't about to burst Jonathan's bubble and point out how Mina almost definitely wasn't going to let him live alone for the rest of his life. He just hugged his brother tighter.

"I...think I need to go to bed," he said, "...it's been a long night."

Jonathan hugged him tightly, his blood tears pouring down his face again, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I brought this all back on you."

Because now he saw the error of it. HE was going to have to watch them all eventually grow old and die. Mina wouldn't have the life she wanted. She wouldn't have the normal lawyer husband, or the kids around her feet. She couldn't go to mass that she didn't believe in to see her family with him. They couldn't all get together on boxing day or go on one of her uncles ships when they were in port and stare at the ocean together when it's the best time of day.

Dracula took all these things from her.

and if he stayed he was leaving her to a shell of an existence. He was selfish to ask her to do that. And he owed her more, after everything he put her through

He had always hated to see Jonathan cry but now, with the blood tears... It was both painful AND terrifying.

Rumple gave his brother and sister one last tight hug before going to bed, hopefully to sleep, but unlikely. Too much to think about.

🌺

Mina gave him a genuine smile, "Five kids later you still know the little things impress me."

"Maybe the fact you're so easily impressed is why we have five kids," he teased, giggling at his own joke.

"And here I thought that's because there's not much to do in winter."

"Well that too."

"Rumple...." he was shaking, he was so nervous.

Rumple did a cursory sweep of the home, tucking all their hunting gear away and trying to figure out what would or wouldn't hurt Jonathan. Dracula fucked with them so bad they were still figuring out what vampires' true weaknesses were and what were just myths he had played along with.

He tossed out the garlic and hid the silver, just in case.

When Jonathan came home, Mina was already waiting for him. She pulled him inside and hugged him so tightly it would've cut off some air i he could still breathe.

Jonathan hugged her uncomfortably tight but Mina didn't feel it. Jonathan reached out to pull his brother close as well.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

He was weak.

Dracula always made him weak.

Rumple wrapped his arms around both of them, squeezing them tightly. It paled in comparison to Jonathan's but he was giving it his best shot.

"Doesn't matter, you're here now," he insisted, "We'll figure it out."

Fuck if he knew how yet but... Jonathan was back, a dark miracle. Everything else could be sorted out.

"Rumple...." he was shaking, he was so nervous.

Rumplestiltskin stirred as she sat down, peeking to make sure he was safe. He wasn't, so he kept his eyes closed, but knew she'd know he was awake anyway.

"Should I, uh, go back to the house?" He wasn't sure he wanted to leave his sister with a fledgling vampire... But also knew for a fact he didn't want to listen to the two of them if they........................reunited in the biblical sense.

she looked at him, exhaustion in her eyes. Not the exhaustion that you could sleep off but the sort of exhaustion that settled right into your soul.

"Christ Rumple," she whispered, "I wanted him back but he came back ot me like this? All...secrets and quietness, swearing you to secrecy so that I would never know?"

He opened his eyes and looked back at her, gently taking her hand, "He was just trying to protect you. Might not have been a perfect plan, but he had good intentions." Such as staying away until he had at least some of his blood lust down...

"I mean... He loves you. Of course he couldn't stay away but... He wouldn't want to hurt you either. Shaky middle ground."

Mina knew all that but her mind was reeling, she was exhausted, she just wanted to go home to sleep so that she could wake up and find out that this was a horrible dream and Jonathan wasn't really one of these demons.

"He has to drink," Mina said, "I told him I'd meet him at the house."

She looked at her brother, "We should probably head back...get the room ready so that the light doesn't come through."

MIna loved her windows....

Rumple flinched. Yes he was aware that Jonathan had to...drink now but it would take a long long...long time for him to accept that casually. His poor sweethearted brother-in-law who wouldn't hurt a fly...

"Alright," he said, standing up and offering his hand to her. Reminding her she wouldn't be going through this alone.

"Rumple...." he was shaking, he was so nervous.

...they were going to have to have some discussions about Jonathan's new vampireness. He couldn't be moving faster than Rumple could blink and making him almost piss himself while simultaneously feeling for a weapon.

He held up his hands defensively, "I thought she was unconscious!!!"

Mina gave him such an angry look, "And how much were you going to keep from me? When was I going to know?"

Jonathan gave an unsure look to Rumple, "I wasn't ever going to tell you."

Mina punched him but since he was a vampire it didn't do much but hurt her hand. She hardly felt it though as she embraced him, sobbing.

"Asshole, asshole, asshole," she sobbed into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Jonathan sobbed, "I'm sorry."

It hurt to see two people he loved so much in pain. Jonathan had good intentions but Mina had every right to be upset. Either way, even his thick skull could see they could use a few minutes alone.

"I'm going to, ah, snoop, or something," he announced in case they were listening, then went to go check out the building.

He would've heard mumbling for awhile, followed by several bouts of yelling, mostly from Mina. She was so hurt that he didn't tell her he was alive. That he avoided her. And THEN it got VERY loud when she ripped into him for bringing her brother in it and trying to swear him to secrecy which put HIM in a bad spot in keeping secrets from his grieving sister.

Then they parted, Jonathan needed to drink he needed to feed before he went back home to see his family, before he was around Mina and doing...husband things. WAs he still her husband? Till death usually was final but this was a bit unprecedented.
